Building Caribbean civil society capacity to deliver sustainable finance

17 November 2025 – Caribbean biodiversity is rich with high levels of endemism arising from the complex biogeography of the area. However, due to the small ranges of these unique species and the threats of habitat loss and degradation, the region hosts some of the highest numbers of threatened species in the world.
